The recommended IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for looking at plugins is Eclipse. You can open them in Domino Designer, but I prefer to keep my development environment clean – I have enough Notes Applications and On Disk Projects there, without confusing the matter further. Plus, if you’re looking to debug them, Eclipse is a better […]

Earlier this week I was prompted to upgrade Firefox and I’m now on 34.0.5. Suddenly I was unable to access some Domino servers and got this message when connecting via https: Needless to say, this is not going to be a problem with Domino 9.0.1 FP2 IF2. But for some projects I need to develop

One aspect in which browsers are significantly poor compared to rich client applications like the Notes Client is in keyboard shortcuts. WAI-ARIA roles exist for specific areas of a page, like navigation. But browser manufacturers seem to have done nothing to help those who prefer to (or have to) use the keyboard instead of the

Recently I’ve realised that for all the host of materials there have been on XPages, there are not the same amount of materials for OSGi Plugin investigation. John Dalsgaard and John Cooper have blogged some, but most of the blogs tend to focus on building plugins. Indeed that’s also the focus of my upcoming session

Some may have missed the announcement, so I’ll draw special attention to it. The community has the chance to shape the ConnectED agenda by voting on Chalk Talk sessions for a variety of tracks. There are a couple I’d like to raise the priority of. The first is one I’ve submitted myself on OpenNTF Domino

On Friday I picked up a query about how to pass a dominoDocument datasource to a custom control. It’s a question that’s been raised before but a definitive answer could not be located. It’s possibly because the answer is not specific to datasources, but any variable. In essence there is a simple rule to apply

For those who didn’t notice, the Interim Fix for 9.0.1 FP2 released overnight also included the fix for iOS 8. Not surprisingly, because of the impact of changes to the Dojo code, this fix is only in 9.0.1 FP2, not in the Interim Fix Packs released for older Domino versions – they focus solely on

For some time the OpenNTF Domino API has included Tinkerpop and an implementation to store content in a graph database structure. Recently I’ve been digging into that further for potential projects, prompted also by a redevelopment of that area of the OpenNTF Domino API and Nathan’s upcoming session at DanNotes. Graph databases are a common

On Friday I blogged about how you can’t include Expression Language in Client-Side JavaScript for an eventHandler. (Because of problems with the blog that prevented comments, I had to re-post it.) The other benefit of blogging is that someone can usually give you some more information that makes everything drop into place. Toby Samples tweeted
